River Fire - North Chester and East Beardsley Avenue, Bakersfield

Current Situation: Fire crews responded to the call of a small grass fire in the river bottom under the bridge at North Chester and East Beardsley. Upon arrival crews were faced with gusty winds which caused the fire to jump the Kern River and start several spot fires. Crews quickly evacuated multiple people living in the area and extinguished the fire. Personnel will remain on scene for some time to mop up several fallen trees and extinguish all hot spots.
